Walker's call to arms at NRA

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, at the National Rifle Association meeting Friday to receive an award for pushing pro-gun legislation, rallied national conservatives to help in his recall fight.

“The advocates for big government view me as a threat. They want to take me out,” he said in a campaign-style speech. “Lord help us if somehow we fail…It sets us back at least a decade, if not a generation. And that is why we must not fail.”

Walker bragged about signing a law that gives the right to hunt wolves, something that bothers environmentalists.

In what he called “a call to action” speech, Walker expressed optimism that he can prevail in the June 5 recall. The governor received at least as strong a reception as any other politician who spoke to the group Friday afternoon.
